It's not smooth, it's rather slippery. Slippery focusing rings are harder to get precise focusing unless you have an arm of a robot. Zeiss lenses' focusing rings are super smooth and stiff.
Why do you need so many lenses when you're barely learning photography? Start off with 35mm 1.8 DX and take proper photography classes. Worry about building your skill before worrying about buying a truckload of lenses.
#1: Start with 35mm 1.8 DX — rent it out first to see and decide for yourself.
#2 and #3: Worry about these later — save yourself money for photography classes.
#4: We don't know because we don't take pictures for you. So, it's up to you.
@Lilkiwiguy87 #4 If I didn't then I would have never asked you. LOL but thank you for the reply although it came off different than I expected, but you hold your opinions and I'll hold mine.
you have an excellent channel, are you ever going to do a canon help hotline lol?, im sure canon and nikon's are similiar so the knowledge that i learn here will most likely help me, great videos, very detailed, simply AWESOME :D
I wish you continue to make videos like these. It helps alot of people really. There may be people who hate your channel but you can't please everyone. However, You have supporters too! Really hope you continue. :) Thank you again for the review.
this video is a hundred trillion times better than clueless and hopeless camera salesperson jared polin's stupid 35mm 1.4G unboxing and sniff test!! theres like a thousand questions in the comments on his video. no questions in the comments on yours because you guys answered everything!! good job!! way to go to kick his ass for the last video!!
wow! another quality review, please dont stop making reviews, I wish you could make one on the 85mm f1.4G but.. I know.. may not happen . But I still have to say that you are my favorite youtube channel, and I still very often use it as a source of reference and come back a lot for information, my due respect to your knowledge and no BS content. I have a small question though, I use Nikon NC filters (not UV) , any thoughts on them? thank you for the video and if ever in Mexico, Tequila is on me!
i will always stay subscribed love the info and no nonsense approach i can't watch fro he just gets under my skin dom is good, gavin is also good but they seem to not get as in depth give hard core numbers and add that other level of experience. well that's enough rant just pleeeeaaaaase don't shut the channel big thanks joe
And I was just about to jump into the Pit of Tartarus to look for the motivation that was lost. Oh well. Thanks for all of the help with photography and cars and everything in between. Much appreciated. Best of luck with everything.
Ami I supposed to 'like' another well done review or 'dislike' that this is the last one? You guys have helped me in choosing lenses, solving problems and learning new techniques - thanks a lot. I hope you keep these videos up - I refer to them from time to time not only for the lens porn factor, but for things like the time-lapse tutorial whose steps I haven't quite memorized yet. Thanks again, and good luck.
hey, why does smooth focus ring marked as Con?

Nikon's glass filters are all high quality and as good as B+W and Heliopan. So, if you want to save some bucks, it'll do just fine.
P.S. Thanks for the offer but no thanks, we don't drink.
